When To Treat Meningioma

Not every meningioma needs treatment right away. But when a tumor is growing, causing symptoms or affecting nearby areas of the brain or spine, treatment may be needed.

Symptoms depend on the size and location of your tumor. They may include:

• Headaches
• Seizures
• Vision changes
• Weakness or balance problems
• Memory or thinking changes
• Other nervous system symptoms

Our team will carefully evaluate your situation to help you know when to treat and which treatment is right. Our team reviews your scans, symptoms, growth patterns, medical history and goals. Then we create a treatment plan made for you.

Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, continued monitoring or a combination. We aim to control your tumor while protecting your brain function and quality of life.

Our expertise includes:

• Advanced imaging and tumor assessment
• Meeting with a surgeon and treatment planning
• Radiation oncology expertise
• A team review of your treatment plan
• Support to help you make decisions
